I tried installing V1.2 on a VAXstation 3100 using the local MIR for the namespace and received the following fatal error when the post install process began: DCL-W-ACTIMAGE error activating image DNS$SHARE CLI-E-IMGNAME image file sys$system:DNS$SHARE.EXE SYSTEM-E-PROTINSTALL protected images must be installed It appears that the procedure is looking for DNS, which has never been installed on this system. I DID NOT take the DNS default at the beginning of the installation procedure, so I'm not sure why the post install procedure is looking for anything to do with DNS. Any suggestions? Merlin

| 1912.2 | Ouch, we link against that! | TOOK::CAREY | Tue Dec 10 1991 23:22 | 21 | |
Ouch, ugly truth. We're linked against DNS$SHARE to be able to get
at the namespace if we need to. The upshot is that you either have to
be running the DNS clerk, or you need to install DNS$SHARE like this:
INSTALL ADD SYS$LIBRARY:DNS$SHARE.EXE/SHARE/PROTECT/OPEN
The clerk doesn't need to be running if you're not using DNS, but the
share image must be installed for our image activation to work.
Since the DNS clerk is available on VMS V5.4 and later, we are okay
with this as a necessarey ingredient.
Thanks for finding this: we tend to have a lot of systems with the DNS
clerk running, since we have required it for the last two years.
Enjoy,

| 1912.3 | That's a little too ugly | TOOK::GUERTIN | Don't fight fire with flames | Wed Dec 11 1991 09:41 | 6 |
I think that is too ugly to look at also (but then again I look at
myself in the mirror every morning :-). I will push to have this fixed
for V1.2 SSB. It looks as though we can just catch and ignore that
error message if you select the LocalMIR for your DNS database.
